I have a few frame grabs i want to post but not sure how to get it up on this. No button to browse for the images.

You can't use this forum to post images, you need to host them on a website and provide a link.

Thanks,
Luke

thanks Luke. Yeah, I finally decided to do that anyway since I had a hunch that this site didn't allow it.

Sure this site allows it -- use the "manage attachments" button in the Additional Options section below the Submit Reply area when you're making a post. Attachment included here as an example.

I don't see that option.
All I have in the additional options box is
Miscellaneous options:
Show Signature
Automatically parse links

and

Thread Subscriptions
Notification Type

Colin, at first I didn't see it but then realized I wasn't signed in. After I signed in all the options were there. I think if you leave this site idling it may sign you off automatically.

Hi Scott,

I am signed in at the moment. I don't see anything.
I did just change my options to show images in the thread but still no way for me to add them myself.

This is what I see at the bottom of the page

Posting Rules
You may post new threads
You may post replies
You may not post attachments
You may edit your posts

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

vB code is On
Smilies are Off
[IMG] code is Off
HTML code is Off

Do I need to change a setting somewhere or do I need to reach a certain level at DVInfo to enable the attachments?

EDIT: This is the same in Firefox and IE on my PC.

hmmm, that's a tricky one Colin. Now that I am thinking back I do remember about a week ago under posting rules it said "You may not post attachments" and for some reason it now says that I can. Also, you and I joined around the same time (april 06) so I don't think it's a member thing.

It is probably because I am an Englishman who abandoned the old country and moved to the US. I need to be loyal to get attachment rights :)

No it's because you're not yet 30 days old as a forum member.

But I just bumped you up in status, so try again. ;-)

ahhh...mystery cracked!! And at first I thought it was because I'm a New Yorker who transplanted in Los Angeles. :)

Thanks Chris,

I am so happy. I can now post attachments. See me celebrate :)

This is probably news to everyone. That has to be the first two pictures I've seen posted here.

There's been no formal announcement about it. We thought we'd try to just slip it into the stream and see who notices.
